Bodies of Water

2 Oct 2024

Fixed House Theatre present 'Bodies of Water'

Woven with movement, Shakespeare, spoken word and music, Bodies of Water invites audiences into one woman’s journey back to the waters of herself following a miscarriage along the thread of grief and exploration that brought her back to the surface.

Why can salt water sure anything? Sweat, tears, the sea…maybe because we are it and she is us and maybe she is constantly inviting us home.

Bodies of Water is a new work of storytelling birthed in the grief not only of the loss of a life, but the powerful awareness and connectedness this quite common yet unspoken wound seems to awaken in women about the pain our world, the rivers and seas and communities that keep us afloat, are constantly ebbing into and out of.

This piece is an ode to water as the blood of our bodies, the blood of this planet, and the most important and wise teacher in our world. A teacher worth honouring - saving, and in doing so, we just might be able to save ourselves. This piece is an invitation, a prayer, and hopefully a gift that allows the audience to sit for a moment with someone rising up, and out, not in pain, but in ever floating hope.
